Founded in 1991 on Grandfather Galema’s farm, the family business has grown from 2 small greenhouses to over an acre under cover and a mum field of over 40,000 pots. In 1998, we were designated "Grower of the Year" by Grower Talks Magazine, and in 1999 we were named GM Pro Innovator for our Integrated Pest Management program.
Construction and upgrades of greenhouse space has almost been a continual venture since our inception. Our additions are always based on booked orders since 95% of our product is committed before it is planted. The remainder is grown to supply our current customers or have available for new customers.
We see more growth in our future! Our plan is to continually automate processes and improve efficiencies to promote more healthy plant growth and therefore improve the quality of our product.
Tim Galema, Owner/Horticulturist
Tim has a bachelor's degree in Horticulture from Purdue University. After gaining several years of experience at a local greenhouse, he began his family owned and operated business 25 years ago. Tim has served on the board of the Indiana Flower Growers Association and currently is a member of the Ohio Florists' Association. In 2009, the Indiana Flower Growers Association selected him as the Floriculture Person of the Year.
Bev Galema
Tim's wife Bev is also a Purdue grad. In 1998, she put her Management degree to work full time in the greenhouse office. She handles the bookkeeping, schedules the deliveries, and keeps the database and paperwork under control. In 2015 and 2018, the Indiana Flower Growers Association selected her as the Floriculture Person of the Year.
The Children
The bio would not be complete without a mention of Alex and Molly! Alex is also a Purdue graduate and has been instrumental in upgrading the greenhouse operations by automating many processes and installing upgraded technology and software to improve the operation. Molly is currently in college studying BioTechology in Iowa, but still jumps right back in on her breaks by running crews and helping out in any way she can.
Mom & Dad Galema
Chuck and Marilyn also spend their days at the greenhouse. The majority of Marilyn's time is spent watering but she also plants beautiful combination arrangements. After retiring in 1998, Chuck joined in to assist with equipment repairs and almost any task that helps to keep our operation running smoothly.
